From the woods of Transylvania to the beaches of Mamaia, Romania has a lot to offer for those who want a little bit of everything! Spend time taking in the culture and cuisine of Romania’s capital Bucharest before departing for an excursion to Brasov, famously known as the home of Dracula’s castle. Next, enjoy time soaking up the sun at your beachfront hotel in Mamaia. If you’re looking for a little more excitement, we have a club night included at one of the many beachfront clubs on the strip. End your program back in Bucharest with a visit to Therme Bucuresti, Europe’s largest wellness and relaxation center and home to Romania’s largest botanical garden.
